Abstract

This research consistently highlights the crucial role and impact of textbooks in balancing taught skills and determining the practice materials students use. The study aims to identify higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in the reading comprehension questions of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture's English textbook "Bahasa Inggris Work in Progress for Grade X SMA/MA/SMK/MAK," Utilizing the higher-order thinking skills theory from the revised Bloom's Taxonomy by Krathwohl and Anderson, the study focuses on skills related to analysis, evaluation, and creation. This study uses a qualitative approach to analyze data, employing checklist tables and analysis cards as instruments. The findings reveal that the most commonly used HOTS aspect in the English textbook's reading tasks is analysis (C4) followed by the evaluation category (C5). Based on the research findings, it was discovered that this book contains limited content focused on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). However, its implementation needs further review. Although the textbooks are thorough, teachers must adapt and enhance the material to cater to diverse learning styles and to enhance students' understanding and engagement with the provided content. For some types of questions, the HOTS content is insufficient for grade 10 students across all schools. Many schools do not offer additional or background knowledge to help anticipate and implement these skills effectively. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the government, as the publisher of this book, provide solutions and review its implementation in schools throughout Indonesia. Keywords: English Textbook, Reading Text Questions, High Order Thinking Skills.
